Tent for winter fishing

Winter fishing is an unattractive pleasure if there is no suitable warm tent with you. Minus temperature and piercing wind ... A tent for winter fishing is just a matter of prime necessity. Often, when you come to the store, you can see a whole sea of different models, both from domestic manufacturers and foreign ones. How not to be mistaken when choosing a tent, how not to regret afterwards about the money spent without any results? In order to determine the choice, you just need to know some things.

1. Decide on the size of the tent you need - single, double or triple. In stores, it is usually indicated on the package how many places a tent is designed for. But, unfortunately, you can not trust it. It is possible to deduce such rule - in case the tent is less than two and a half meters in diameter - it is single. If more - then double. If you need a tent for three people - look for more than three and a half meters in diameter. The distance in diameter is the distance between two opposite corners of the tent.

Keep in mind, a single tent for winter fishing has a four-beam design, and two- and three-seat - six-beam, so two and three-seat much more resistant to wind gusts.

2. If you know in advance that during winter fishing, for some reason you will often have to move the tent over the ice - it makes sense to purchase a tent-machine. It is also called a spring-tent in a different way. They differ in that the tent is attached to an elastic frame. Plus they have one - they quickly, literally in 5 seconds, are put on the ice due to their springiness, elasticity. For this is their quality and they got such a name. Now in stores, as a rule, only Chinese tents for winter fishing are automatic. They are not expensive. And the disadvantages are that they often break down the frame in places of bends and low rigidity and stability.

3. If the winter is very cold - you need to take a two-layer tent. In this case, in an ordinary tent, an additional tent is attached to the frame. The result - the tent becomes much warmer. Of course, such a tent will cost more, but this overpayment is worth it.

4. A good tent for winter fishing should be at the maximum light, mobile and compact. This is understandable, because no one wants to drag on yourself over the frost an extra load. It is better to pay more and forget about the unpleasant moments.

5. It is necessary that the tent be installed and dismantled as soon as possible. Standards: installation - a maximum of thirty seconds; Dismantling - five minutes.

6. Naturally, the tent for winter fishing should be made of quality tarpaulins or other similar material that does not allow water and wind to pass through.

7. The frame of the tent should be made of strong, corrosion-resistant materials. Typically, in the production of materials such as aluminum or composite materials are used. Frames in tents are of two types:

• Eontic
• Self-supporting system of arcs.

What to choose - it does not really matter, the main thing is that it should withstand the greatest possible loads.

8. The main thing in the tent for winter fishing - the heat, so there must necessarily be a place for placing the heater.

Heating the tent for winter fishing is another important question. Fishermen during winter fishing are heated by primus, gas stoves, dry fuel, simple candles. I use various heaters, be sure to remember about ventilation, otherwise the oxygen content will drop in the air and you will feel unwell. The easiest way is a thick candle in a pan left overnight. Essentially, it does not raise the temperature, but if the street is not less than minus ten - more and not necessary. You can make from a tin can with a hole a simple stove, and then burn in it tablets of special dry fuel. Such an oven will allow the tent to be heated and the tea to boil.

Choosing the right tent will make your fishing unforgettable.
